troubles. Last Friday night, about
9 O'Clock, as he was just leaving his

Sawtooth. since which time he has
been unable to do hard labor, and we

Some of the owners bunch their cows

there to be branded after the roundup is

purpose In the latter case, instead of be-
ing Iassoed and thrown down to be
branded, the cattle are driven through
"chpte"-a narrow passage between stout,
bioh-pIanked fences, just wide enough for
them to pass. Here, as the steer or cow
goes by a certain point, it is held fast for a
moment and a hot branding-iro is
pressed against its side. The animal bel

they were ever seen in such immOdest at

suppose they did? They went down the
beach to a shanty, with whose inmates
one of them was acquainted, and
presently reappeared clothed from head
to feet in linen wrappers. They
thought it unnecessary to have anything
under those garments. In that garb they
took the water Fortunately for them, it
happened that there were not more than
twenty men and boys at that part OF the
beach, but the whole twenty ran after
them, laughing and hOottng at them when
they emerged from the water, with those
paper-like wrappers sticking to their
bodies like so many suits of adhesive plas-
